Michael Mantenuto was hospitalized for depression in 2015 and had a history of mental health problems dating back to the time before he started acting, DailyMail.com can reveal. The married father-of-two also transferred out of the Special Forces K-9 Unit shortly before his death, telling one friend that 'I need to get my life together and I couldn't do it by doing that'. Mantenuto, an actor who starred in the Disney film Miracle before joining the Special Forces in 2013, was found dead in his car in Des Moines, Washington, on April 24.

Damn — that’s a shame. He played team captain Jack O’Callahan in the Disney movie “Miracle” about the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.
Hey, Airborne ... I was wondering if you could send this out to your hockey ping list. I was late catching up to this sad story.
This breaks my heart because I know we can do better.
RIP.
Was so great in that movie. Thought for sure would see him in other stuff..
No idea that he joined the military.
It sounds like he had a long history that goes way back to his early years. I’m kind of surprised he didn’t get screened out of the military with it.
(let me know if you want on or off the ping list)
RIP. Very sad.
Thanks for the ping. Very sad.
Eternal rest ,Prayers for his family and friends.
He was in my old unit by the look of the picture, 1st SFG(A). I don’t understand how he made it thru the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory(MMPI) that was given to every candidate back in the day. That being said, sad day to lose another one to suicide.
Sounds like a nice guy. Prayers up for his family & his soul.
